  1. In bottle: Musky sweet dragon's blood.

     

    On me: I'm really hoping this is more dragon's blood than florals. And it is, although much sharper than it smelled in the bottle. Strongly musky/animalistic - hello musk and civet! Getting a *smidge* of the chemically rose, but all in all I like this one.


  2. What an interesting combination of notes! This is strongly gin on me, with a touch of tobacco. My nose is ticking a bit, so I suppose that's the pepper. My dear friend honey isn't amping on me for once - I smell it in the background trying to break free, and I suppose the longer this is on the more it will come out. Not getting juniper or melon here. I thought I would like this more than I do - I think I'll give it another shot before sending it off for swaps.


  3. Lessee - citrus and jasmine. Yeah, this should basically suck on me. *sniff* Not as bad as I thought, but these are my nasty florals, and this is floral hell. More jasmine and lotus than anything else. Not really getting citrus here at all.


  4. Something in here is going very sour on me. This smells a bit neroli-ish to me, but that's not listed. I think probably what I'm getting most is the bergamot and tangerine. Some of my "evil" florals are in here (rose, jasmine), but I'm not really getting them here. Not getting lily of the valley and barely getting amber. This will go on to someone who will appreciate it more than I do.


  5. Very pretty! The florals are definitely dominant over the fruits here - I'm really not getting fig, and the apple is barely there. Mostly this is hibiscus. It smells very clean and homey, almost like drier sheets. I suppose a lot of people will say "soap," but this is a soap I definitely don't mind smelling like!


  6. Very peach, but with darker notes pulling it down a bit - probably the patchouli. Amber is the base note, but the peach is bouncing in and out of it. I'm not sure how I feel about these notes in combination - I think I would prefer a more pure peach.


  7. Fruity and somewhat foody. I get more strawberry than anything else. Kind of reminds me of one of the very first BPALs I ever tested, Bon Vivant. This also feels like Strawberry Moon's older, more jaded sister. Lightly musky. Despite the fruity, this is definitely a grown-up scent. I'm getting something that smells a touch like leather in the background. Bit of amber to balance out the fruit. All in all, I like this very much.


  8. White florals, mostly lily. Lily is one of the florals that tends not to agree with me, but it's not as overpowering and in your face here. This is a fairly "wet" floral, but not hothouse wet. A little heady, but not horribly so.


  9. Holy weird food scent, Batman. The first thing I get is turkey, with all the trimmings. This is your mom's table at Thanksgiving dinner. Then I get sweet potato casserole. Then I get a buttery dessert. How Beth managed to combine all these different scents and not have it smell completely atrocious is beyond me, but she did. That said, it's pretty weird, and I'm not sure how I feel about it as a perfume.
